We have so much fun during the fundraiser that we don't want it to end, so how about we take this party next door? Join Pat on his Twitch stream today from noon CT to midnight PT while he shares stories, talks with guests, and is generally entertaining. All donations (and lottery entries) are still accepted throughout the stream!

We've raised $600,000 for Heifer International! At this stage in the Women Farmers program, participants have their gifts from Heifer and are starting to see real growth: goats are giving birth, crops are flourishing, and their plan for a much brighter future is coming together!

We've officially reached our goal of $500,000, but that doesn't mean we're done yet! Let's check back with Renuka Begum to see what she did when her program hit this milestone. Spoiler: It involves a heifer!

You've been seeing the smiling faces of children holding goats in a lot of our photos over the years. This year, we'd like to tell you exactly why we prefer those photos, and exactly who you see smiling at you in all of our promotional material this year. Her name is Shopna Khatun.

We have a number of charity auctions for Critiques and Tuckerizations, as well as a team page where you have a chance to win manuscript critiques in the lottery. But what exactly are they, and why would you want one? Read on!

Today, we attempt to let Heifer International explain a little about what they do and how, and we end up interrupting anyway because we're just too excitable about all of it.

Thanks to everyone who helped us use $150,000 in matching funds to get us to $300,000! Remember our last blog, where we introduced you to Farida Begum? Her life kept changing for the better, and we'd like to tell you how!
